Jody can be found working alongside her brilliant daddy, Dave Perewitz. Talk about truth, this girl certainly has engine oil in her veins. She's all about EVERYTHING to do with motorcycles.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON'S EPIC ALL GIRL RIDE at DAYTONA!!
This is an excerpt of an e-mail that I received recently from Harley-Davidson regarding their all girl ride on March 4th...which is so popular...that they had an overwhelming response to the slots available.
CONGRATULATIONS SASHA! You have been chosen to join Karen Davidson, great-granddaughter of one of the Company’s founders, and the Get Down to Daytona winners on their final leg into Daytona! We had an overwhelming response from women interested in joining the Women’s Day Ride in Daytona on March 4, 2008, benefiting MDA Summer Camps, so we have decided to no longer limit the ride to 105 women, and are now accommodating 500 women riders! Yes, 500! The ride will be one of the largest Harley-Davidson women’s rides ever, and we’re thrilled to have you share that piece of history with us.
Okay, I feel like I JUST WON THE GOLDEN TICKET like the Willy Wonka story... but I'm so like little Charlie, not Violet the glutton blueberry gum chewing girl --- no, I'm like dear Charlie, the little underdog...though as the former little girl with thick coke bottle glasses totally unpopular, wall flower kid of yore -- yes she, ME, is going to be a part of this epic ride.
I get to ride with ALL these amazing women and I shall write for days about it...I shall take photos, and film footage with my pocket camcorder and present the most awesome journey...oh, this is a thrill beyond belief. I'm taking you all with me and sharing this victorious moment.
Rock it Roll it Ride it like you stole it...all the way to Daytona to join in this amazing event. Also, there is a wonderful cause abound....MDA...this is a fund raiser event, too.
Open your big heart! I have a fundraising goal of $1,000. It'd be cool to include you or your company on my list of contributors helping me reach an important goal.
Your donation would help MDA continue the important fight against muscular dystrophy. Check out my donor page by clicking on the link at the end of this e-mail. There you'll find all kinds of information about MDA, and be able to make your tax-deductible donation on-line using your credit card.MDA serves people in our community with muscular dystrophy by providing clinics, support groups, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs, braces and communication devices, and summer camp for kids. MDA also funds research to help find treatments and cures for diseases that affect people of all ages, right here in our community. On behalf of the families MDA serves, thank you!
Love,
Sasha

International Female Ride Day - May 2, 2008
From a press release issued by DS Publicity Group:
(Toronto) – Last year’s introduction of FEMALE RIDE DAY in Canada was such a success that this year it has gone international. FEMALE RIDE DAY is a synchronized day, worldwide, where women motorcycle riders demonstrate their enjoyment of motorcycle riding. The event takes place annually on the first Friday of May, spotlighting women who ride and celebrating the many numbers who do. This is a day devoted to women of all ages and all experience levels to highlight their passion for and pleasure in – alone or together – the activity of motorcycle riding.
“On FEMALE RIDE DAY, all we ask of women is to be on a motorcycle and just ride!” says Vicki Gray, campaign founder. “It is not an organized ride, not a charity or fundraiser. Its sole focus is on women riders.
Of course women are free to decide how they spend the day and some clubs and rider groups have indeed incorporated a charity or an organized ride. This is the beauty of the day, the freedom to enjoy it as you wish no matter what type or style of motorcycle – cruiser, sport, touring, scooter, off road or ATV. Women are encouraged to simply join in, take part in the camaraderie internationally and just ride,” she adds.
International FEMALE RIDE DAY, made its début last year as a national event, with the intention to go global on its next occurrence. This year it will be celebrated internationally, which was not a difficult step to make, as last year women throughout North America and areas of Europe enthusiastically took part. As each year goes by, there is no doubt that FEMALE RIDE DAY will continue to catch on and be enjoyed by more and more women, as country after country joins in.
In 2007, participants were invited to send in their photographs capturing a moment during their FEMALE RIDE DAY experience and be featured on the website. Additionally by forwarding the photo to MOTORESS, they received mementos and souvenirs in return. Participants will be offered the same opportunity in 2008. According to Vicki, the buzz within online social communities already demonstrates soaring participation this year and she hopes to have enough souvenirs’ for everyone. Some of the club rides and meet-ups planned for May 2nd have decided to produce their own souvenir of the day – a t-shirt or a Female Ride Day badge.MOTORESS is an international brand with a strong online presence. The purpose is to “connect women with motorcycling” and assist women to achieve the most they can out of the activity of motorcycling.
Whether just starting out or experienced, MOTORESS’s feminine and competent representation provides a community where female riders can flourish, progress and, most of all, have fun in the lifestyle of motorcycling.
MOTORESS founder Vicki Gray is a motorcycle racer and instructor for both street and track, devotedly promoting the rewards and enjoyment of motorcycling since 1983. Originally, from Ontario, she got hooked on motorcycling when taking the rider training course in Nova Scotia, motivated by the need for an outlet away from her demanding career at Revlon International. Since then, she has taught motorcycle riding to thousands of beginners, trained police in the Caribbean (Netherlands Antilles), raced throughout Europe, co-instructed with MotoGP racer Katja Poensgen, partnered events with famed TT Circuit Assen, and co-hosted a television program for the Discovery Channel.
